quote [ [Elon Musk] announced this week the acquisition of solar panel manufacturer Silevo, which will produce panels for SolarCity in a new 1-gigawatt factory in Buffalo, New York ? a factory that will be ?an order of magnitude? larger than contemporary plants, according to Musk. ]
"Part of Musk?s plan ... is to build better panels, which will be better-looking, more efficient and cheaper thanks to the expanded production afforded by the unprecedented factory size. Silevo?s current panels already generate greater power per square foot than their market contemporaries."

Now this is a step in the right direction, not that solar roads nonsense.

The solar roads thing would have been better if used elsewhere.

Where on Earth would it be better to build a road out of glass?

It's the "gets shit done" that produces the money.

-1 for the Daily Caller. I don't know exactly their angle is on this story, but fuck that pencil-neck Fox News refugee Tucker Carlson.
Here's the story from Business Insider, for anyone who doesn't want to give extra clicks to right-wing fuckheads. |

He probably wants to put solar panels on the Telsa charging stations.
This is good. |

He wants to put the solar panels on your house so you (mostly) don't need the charging stations.

A heads-up, the main SE page has been popping Malwarebytes warnings for me, saying it's preventing access to kickass.to. I don't know if it's overzealous or that's something to check out.

There's a link to kickasstorrents in the air bender post. It's just being overzealous and weird :-P

As a kid in the 70s I was excited by solar cells. As an adult I've gotten a little more skeptical of them, but still see their potential. Now they're getting developed properly and improving, and being put to use as a roofing material in some places- something I've dreamed about seeing for decades now.
I feel like a nerd for saying it, but I'm genuinely excited to see my daydreeams of solar and other alternative energy sources coming to life. |
